| My essential liberties? Freedom of expression, thoughts and belief. That is, the freedom to question and criticize you goal, culture and society, in order to be able to accuratly chose your own finality and design.
I'm also expecting the State to support me just enough for me to be able to achieve whatever educational level my own abilities will allow me. In other word, I want a welfare state strong enough for me to achieve a place in society according to my talents and skills, whatever my original social condition was. I want an upward, mobile society, a true meritocracy, and it is the State's job to provide and assure that.
As for the rest, gun control and wiretaping, I'm not feeling involved enough to care. But for discussion's sake, I'll say that the government can involve in the people's life as long as it doesn't interfere with their decisions. And wiretaping and gun control is not supposed to prevent you from criticizing and questioning your own society. Because we have enough institutions that can be used to change things aroung, such as free press, the Internet, universities, mass protests and all sort of riots, peaceful or otherwise. So we dont need armed militia composed of crazed, ignorant lunatics, nor shady, coward conspirators gathering is secrecy.
